The Multi-TeV colliders should have the capability to accelerate low emittance beam with high rf efficiency, X-band normal conducting high gradient accelerating structure is one of the promising candidate. However, the long range transverse wake field which can cause beam emittance dilution is one of the critical issues. We examined effectiveness of dipole mode damping in three kinds of X-band,...

An equine fetlock joint pendulum test was studied and the influence of post mortem time and intra-articular lipid solvent on the viscous frictional response examined. Fresh equine digits (group 1, n=6 controls; group 2, n=6 lipid solvent) were mounted on a pendulum tribometer. Assuming that pendular joint damping could be modelled by a harmonic oscillator fluid damping (HOFD), damping time (τ),...

In many industries, it is often required to transfer objects using compliant fingers capable of accommodating a limited range of object shapes/sizes without causing damage to the products being handled. This paper presents a coupled computational and experimental method in time domain to characterize the damping coefficient of a continuum structure, particularly, its applications for analyzing ...

In this paper, the effectiveness of stiffness and damping of bearing is investigated on the natural frequencies of the rotor-bearing system. The rotor-bearing system consists of a shaft, two bearings and a disk between two bearings. Parallel spring-damper in horizental and vertical directions is considered for modeling the stiffness and damping of bearings. The gyroscopic effect is also conside...

The TESLA linear collider needs damping rings to achieve the required small transverse emittances for optimum luminosity. Due to the TESLA pulse structure the damping rings are about 17 km long. The resulting unusual ratio of circumference to energy leads to a large space charge tune shift. The originally proposed damping ring [1] has thus been redesigned for higher energy. This paper describes...

Based on a fluid-structure interaction analysis (FSIA), the theoretical solution is developed for an integrated spherical shell-damping layer-water interaction system subjected to an internal sinusoidal pressure excitation. The effect of damping layer on reducing underwater noises is investigated. The pressure reduction factor is defined to measure the efficiency of noise reduction by the dampi...

The vibration serviceability of flooring structures has been of concern for decades. To date, design criteria classifying the dynamic behaviour of different types of timber flooring structures to an acceptable degree have not been well established. Parameters commonly used to investigate and assess vibrational performances of timber floors include natural frequencies, damping ratios, dynamic di...

The development of high damping materials for noise reduction and attenuation of vibration on structural applications, such as automotive and aerospace industries, has been investigated. This experimental study is concerned with the damping capacity (tan delta) and dynamic Young’s modulus (|E*|) of Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced aluminium (Al) matrix composite. AlSi-SiCp composite was produce...

Power oscillation damping controller is designed in linearized model with heuristic optimization techniques. Selection of the objective function is very crucial for damping controller design by optimization algorithms. In this research, comparative analysis has been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of popular objective functions used in power system oscillation damping. Two-stage lead-...

Acoustic Black Holes (ABH), a new method of passive vibration damping, have received much interest recently due to their lightweight and economically efficient properties. This paper aims to establish the optimal shape of the damping layer treated on ABH under harmonic loading. Firstly, a validation of numerical scheme that is used throughout this paper is carried out. A good agreement of the n...
